Cylance has appointed Evan Davidson as head of Asia Pacific (APAC), transitioning the former EMEA leader as part of aggressive regional growth plans.

As vice president of APAC, Davidson will have responsibility for strengthening and expanding the security vendor’s operations throughout the region from its Singapore office.

“As one of the fastest growing security companies in the world, Cylance is committed to supporting and developing our business in Asia Pacific,” said David Castignola, chief revenue officer at Cylance.

“Evan has proven himself to be an incredibly effective and trusted vice president, responsible for driving Cylance’s expansion in the EMEA market since 2016.

"His passion for Cylance’s prevention-first, predictive security products and commitment to the company will be a significant benefit to the APAC region."

Prior to joining the vendor, Davidson served as enterprise sales director for the UK and Ireland for security firm FireEye, leaving in 2016.

“I am incredibly excited by the opportunity to lead the Asia Pacific region through the next phase of growth,” said Davidson. “With clients and partners spanning many parts of the region already we have a platform on which to build and continue helping solve many of the complex cyber security problems that exist today.”
